Is the world better off without Christianity? Combining narrative with keen critique of contemporary debates, author and historian John Dickson gives an honest account of 2,000 years of Christian history that helps us understand what Christianity is and what it's meant to be. To say that the Christian Church has an "image problem" doesn't quite capture it. From the Crusades and the Inquisition to the racism and abuse present in today's Church--both in Catholic and Protestant traditions--the institution that Christ established on earth has a lot to answer for. But the Church has also had moments throughout history when it has been in tune with Jesus' teachings--from the rise of charity to the invention of hospitals. For defenders of the faith, it's important to be able to recognize the good and bad in the church's history and be inspired to live aligned with Christ. For skeptics, this book is a thought-provoking introduction to the idea that Christianity is, despite all, an essential foundation of our civilization. Bullies and Saints will take you on a big-picture journey from the Sermon on the Mount to the modern church: Giving contextual accounts of infamous chapters of Christian history, such as the Crusades, and acknowledging their darkness. Outlining the great movements of the faith and defending its heroes and saints, some of whom are not commonly recognized. Examining the Church beside the teachings and life of Jesus and how it has succeeded in its mission to imitate Christ.

In Big Bad Bible Giants, readers 8 and up encounter each powerful and massive man through large black-and-white illustrations and kid-friendly language that explores the background of each hulking giant and why they’re important, as well as interesting facts like what their massive weapons looked like and how many sheep it may have taken to satisfy their gigantic appetites—as well as the feats it took to bring these men to their knees. Bulging muscles, towering height, and earth-rattling footsteps … while it might sound like a description for the big green guy in the movies and comics, these words actually apply to the many giants found throughout the Bible who were at times just as angry, almost as strong, and prone to wanting to smash things when it came to battles against the Israelites.

Some very good e-mail buddies over the years have shared many emotional and charismatic stories and devotions by tickling the "forward" key on their computer. And I'm certainly glad that I was privileged to be in their address book, to receive, read, forward and store the wonderful stories of praise and faith; faith in such a loving and awesome God as He that we serve... Sometimes, these e-mail missals contained humor, but not the "typical jokes" that flood the ether waves of the world-wide-web. Rick Warren warns against ""Pop Psychology."" Don't worship inspirational reading, but worship Christ instead.

The first book in a new series that brings the experiences of favorite Bible characters to specific challenges of contemporary life. For contemporary moms, parenting today has challenges that sometimes feel unfathomable. But it turns out that successful moms don't need to master the latest parenting trends, because the best parenting advice has already been written-it's in the Bible. Now Katara Washington Patton provides an accessible gateway to that biblical advice -- corroborated by best practices from respected authorities. Wondering how to help your kid who's being bullied on social media? Patton shares Jochebed's story (Moses' mom) with insights that illustrate what moms have to do to protect kids. How do you use the "village" to help raise children? Sarah knew. And her Biblical wisdom is applied to parenting today. Patton shows how Mary, Elizabeth, Ruth and others lead the way to successful 21st century mothering, and she shares digestible lessons busy moms can use in their own homes.

Throughout my life, growing up in a Southern Baptist Church, going to Sunday school, and just generally being raised in a Christian atmosphere, I was never taught about what a Christian looks like and what characteristics a Christian should have. I mean, of course, I was taught all the traditional Bible stories, and you should do this, and you shouldn’t do that, but nothing about character. I had an old family Bible that I had received with a set of encyclopedias that I bought in my younger years—early twenties. Within that there were several pages that said Christian characteristics. All it did was give the characteristic itself and Bible verses where to find it. I thought this would be an awesome Sunday school lesson series. So with that and lots of prayer, I started preparing lessons picking out one or two characteristics to teach for Sunday school that Sunday. This is the finished work of those Sunday school lessons.
